About the Item
This work is part of a series exploring representation, diaspora, and transition within the context of the colonisation of Algeria and the Algerian revolution. It is an artistic “Truth and Reconciliation process” as well as a deeply personal and subjective exploration of identity. The exhibition is the culmination of a one-year Leverhulme Trust residency at the University of Portsmouth that was widely exhibited in different countries
The newspaper headline “Tout est calme en Algerie” in the heat of the Algerian War smacks of a similar sense of reassuring delusion. With a mosaic of pre- and post- colonial buildings as a background and touching on the theme of Orientalism, this work alludes to the ambiguous attitude of the French toward Arab culture, its flawed analysis of the outcome of the conflict as well as the ghosts of the past resulting from its proclaimed belief in the “civilising mission”.

Patrick Altes is an artist of French/Spanish origins, whose work has been deeply informed by his own personal history. Born in Algeria, he has made a distinctive contribution to postcolonial discourse in his work and the emerging Franco-Algerian art movement. As a young adult, he lived in South Africa for two years under the apartheid, where he had his first-hand experience of a society based on discrimination, repression and deprivation of civil and political rights for a large part of the population. It deeply marked him and fuelled in him a sense for the politically, socially and humanly acceptable.
